Hello,

All 4 cylinder Volvo engines with manual transmissions made from 1963-1978 with coarse spline input shafts use the same clutch kits.

Just in case someone in the past put an early B18 flywheel on your car's engine, below is a picture of an early B18 flywheel without a clearance groove (pictured right) and the later B18/B20 6 bolt flywheel with a clearance groove.

If you have an early B18 flywheel, your local automotive machinist can easily modify your flywheel. This groove is there for clearance for a set of rivets on the updated clutch discs.
